John Peel Wiki

Changes to the look of John Peel Wiki will take place in the near future due to a new skin being rolled out over Oct/Nov across Wikia. Please see the Wikia Staff Blog for further details. On this site, the changes will affect the navigation from the left menu, as well as introduce a fixed page width with narrower content space. Please be patient while adjustments are made for the switch to the new system.

UPDATE: As the change is now in force for some users, I have switched the navigation to the simplified one for the new system. Please check Navigation in the Help section if you can't find things. I also initially made small adjustments to the front page layout, but have now reverted to the old look until all users are on the new system.

COUNTDOWN: Just a reminder for people still using Monaco that the final switch to the new skin is due on Nov. 3. After that, it will no longer be offered as an option. Sorry. Nothing to do with me.

  • Show opens with a Peel jingle by Musical Youth, based on their 'Pass the Dutchie' hit single.
  • After the Shriekback track, Peel adopts a sombre tone and announces: "I'm being actually tonight enormously plucky because during the day I got the news that I'm to be rested - that's the euphemism they use - from the Late Late Breakfast Show and I know that many millions of you will be crushed hearing this news but I can see a positive side to it, at least I shall be able to get to the match and will be there on Saturday actually, the first time this season." (the next match was Southampton's visit to Anfield, that Liverpool won 5-0)
  • Complains that the Better Beatles single he played last night is missing, presumed stolen.
  • Serious Drinking 'Love on the Terraces' is played for the second night running.
